Windows with soul...

Here are a few shots of my favourite New York City windows to start your Friday with a little beauty...

This one (below) intrigues me. Not sure why, entirely. It's relatively plain. I suppose I picture myself sitting behind the desk in the window to the right, staring out at the New York street. Pen in hand. Blank sheet of paper awaiting my next move.

Speaking of NYC writing, here is the window from Carrie's apartment as featured in Sex & the City. My friend lives across the street and pointed it out to me. While the show portrays Carrie as living on the Upper East Side, all the outside shots of her apartment were actually from a West Village brownstone. The place has become quite famous as a result. Many tourists and photgraphers make pilgrimages. What you can't see from this photo is the "No Trespassing" sign blocking the entrance to the stoop.
Note, the famous window where Carrie was shot writing her column is at the top of the photo with the a/c unit in it.

Here's s'more NYC window gorgeousness...this greeny goodness was shot along the Highline (running next to the Hudson River):

If windows are cool, then this East Village beauty is one of the coolest cats around... seriously, right?

Ok, this window may compete a little for the cool-cat crown...

And this one... well this one here is my favouritest of all...
Pure multi-coloured (red and yellow, oh my!) goodness.
